Did the team chaplain retire? 
-
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus. -

I don't know why anyone thinks this guy can play TE or FB? Ya he has some size and ran the ball ok for a qb but thers a big difference between scrambling as a qb and taking a hand off. Also do we even know if Tebow can catch or block?Comment

Not sure he would be a good TE, but he could definitely take handoffs and run. probably 75% of his college runs were designed runs, thats not scrambling as a QB.
He runs hard and fast, but theres not nearly as much glory in being a goal line back as there is in being a QBComment

If Michael Robinson could transfer from college QB to Pro Bowl NFL FB, then I'd imagine that Tebow could at least be a semi-competent H-back type. But you never know...blocking NFL d-linemen and linebackers is extremely "want to" dependent, and if Tebow's heart isn't into it, then he would fail even if his body had enough talent to succeed in that role.Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

Who has those kind of credentials? 37 TDs per year, the only QB to ever run for 20 TDs and Pass for 20 TDs in the same season.
Guys like Timmy Chang, Ty Detmer, Colt Brennan, Colt Mccoy, Graham Harrell might have the gaudy passing numbers but tebow was floridas do-it-all bad boy (lol that made me laugh a little typing out)
"Not anywhere near" is a stretch, i can comfortably put him at #1, especially from who i have seen in my lifetime but I cant imagine him not being in the top 5 on any list.
I hate tebow, never thought he would be much in the pros, but i'll give him credit at the collegiate level, he got it done in a big wayComment

He CAN run through people though...the guy is ridiculously jacked and runs very hard. Which is why i say a peyton hillis-like role. Which may not make for a long career, but at least it is a career.
Guy is pretty durable tooComment

..and then we saw Cam Newton come into the SEC and carve it up.
I watched Tebow a ton in college and while he had stats it wasn't like he was doing anything special. Meyer fed him a ton of GL runs and while it was unstoppable it was also one of the main reasons he never developed as a legit QB.
Tebow had a great career but he isn't anywhere near a top 5 QB all time in the NCAA.Steelers 27

In production and achievements he definitely is...doesnt matter how he was being used, like you said it was unstoppable. I dont know what doing anything special has to do with it, although playing well in big games seems pretty special to me.
Cam Newton is an interesting add to the conversation, he could have run away with it had he played more than 1 year. But I dont think pro success should have anything to do with being labeled as a great college or among the best college football players of all time. Leinart and Young are certainly in this conversation based on their bodies of work while in college and they suck ass just like tebow.
Who would you have #1? top 5?
When i think of the very best college players ive ever seen, id say its split about in half between being good and bad in the pros.Comment
